We are using them to communicate both amongst our own club members and also to a wider audience.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Response to Covid-19<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>When lockdown occurred the ROC immediately\u00a0 took steps to establish communications amongst ourselves and to support Clubs: &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-We set up a WhatsApp group for ROC \u2013 this has been remarkably successful enabling rapid and instant communication between members<\/p>\n<p>-We have used Zoom for additional Regional meetings, which can take place at short notice, with no travel downtime or room hire expense.<\/p>\n<p>-Regional President Rose has participated in conference calls with President Isobel and other Regional Presidents. Everyone found this useful and helpful.<\/p>\n<p>-We allocated a \u2018buddy\u2019 from ROC to Regional Clubs not represented on ROC, to ensure we had an insight as to what was happening in all Clubs in the Region.\u00a0 We can also offer assistance if necessary, particularly with electronic or virtual meetings.<\/p>\n<p>-Regular newsletters to Clubs have continued. These have included the President\u2019s Easter message and shared examples of how Programme Action is continuing despite the lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>We are also regularly updating our Facebook pages and Twitter accounts. This lets the world know that we are still here and actively supporting each other and the wider community.<\/p>\n<p>Read President-Elect Elaine&#8217;s Report here:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff6600\">\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff6600\" href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/midland-arden\/files\/2020\/06\/Three-Regions-Meeting-June-20th-2020.pdf\">Three Regions Meeting June 20th 2020<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Regions Meeting 20th June 2020 On 20th June, Presidents and Officers from Midland Arden,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":738,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[13],"class_list":["post-4939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-regional-officers-meeting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Life during lockdown - how Midland Arden is using new technologies to adapt | News | Blog | Events | SI Midland Arden<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Midland Arden : Blog &amp; News : Life during lockdown - how Midland Arden is using new technologies to adapt : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Midland Arden .
